West Bank and Gaza

METAC’s resources are available to (i) identify and design measures
to strengthen specific aspects of economic and financial management;
(ii) prepare detailed implementation plans based on the diagnostic
work conducted by IMF-Headquarters; (iii) provide policy and technical
advice either by the Center’s resident advisers or by experts from the
IMF roster; (iv) organize hands-on training, seminars, workshops to
allow for peer-to-peer learning and disseminate good practices; (v)
review proposals by governments for consistency with internationally
agreed standards, and (vi) coordinate activities with other technical
assistance providers.

The Palestinian economy continues to face considerable headwinds,
with security risks and fading hopes for peace weighing heavily on
growth prospects. In such an environment, METAC’s assistance focuses
on supporting the Palestinian Authority’ efforts to mobilize domestic
revenue, enhance public financial management, strengthen the
resilience of the banking sector to shocks, and improve real sector statistics.
